rlhis invention relates to a reel; and has tor its object te provide a construction which may be manufactured eii'iciently and yet permit one et the heads to be easily and quickly 'l removed f1 iurther object ot the invention is the provision oi' a member rotatably mounted in the head which may interlock with a portion carried by the barrel by means ot a relative rotation of the parte.

t :further object of the invention is the provision ot depressions in the barrel with co-u operating parts in the head to receive a cord 'lor binding together the coils ot wire on a loaded reel betere the head is detached and the wire removed 'from the reel;

itil

rll he invention further consists in forming a depression in the barrel extending longie tudinally thereof withslots in the head ex tending radially outwardly from a position adjacent the depression in the barrel through which a binding cord may be manipulated torl securing together the coils of wire on the ree With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of centain novel features 'ot construction, as will be more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims. Y

ln the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 is a top plan'vew of the head of the reel. v

Figure 2 is a ragmental pers ective view ot the barrel and a portion o one of the heads. i

ligure 3 is a section on line 3-3 of Figure l.

Figure 4 is a section on line 4--4 of Figure 1 showing the wire represented on the reel.

Figure 5 is a fragmental detail of the mounting of the threaded member or nut in theremovable head., y

It is :found in the construction of wire reels desirable to remove one of the heads to slide a acka e of wire or the like from the reel an in or er to provide a construction by which this may be easily accomplished I have rotatably mounted a threaded member in the detachable y head which may threadingly engage a portion extending from the barrel and which may be easily manipulated by radially extending slots in the head through which the cord may be conveniently manipulated; andl the following is a detailed description ot the present embodiment ot this invention and illustrating means by which these advantageous results may be accomplished. With reference to 'the drawings, 10 designates the barrel portion to which is suitably secured a head 11 by means of welding or the like and at the opposite end of the reel a head 12 is detachably mounted. Extending through the barrel 10 is a sleeve 13 which is suitably welded to the head 11 as at 14. The opposite end of this sleeve is supported by a suitable web 15 and is threaded as at 16 at its end. The head 12 is provided l with a rotatable threaded member or nut 17 which has a shouldered portion 18 engaging the outer surface of the head 12 and which has a reduced neck portion 19 extending through an opening in the head 12 withl a collar or ring 20 suitably secured to this neck portion 19 on the opposite side of the head 12 by welding asat 21 to rotatably mount the threaded member or nut17 in the head. Handles 23 extend from the nut 17 to assist in positioning it on the threaded end 16 of the sleeve `to tightly 'bind the head 12 against the end -oir' the barrel 10, 'asillustrated in Figure 3. A stud 24 is fixed in the web 1,5 and extends through an opening 25 inthe head 11 to prevent relative rotation of the head and barrel 10.

A hole 2.6 is'provided in one'of the heads carried by saidbarrel, and 'a' threade mem-g ber rotatably secured'in saidylieadl for enbe ,passed tov be suitably bent to fasten the coil in position.

The barrel is recessed as at 28 and each of the heads is slotted as a 29 intermediate-the 5 ribs 30 raised thereon, which slot is so'positioned that it extends radially from the recess 28 in the barrel to a point short 'of the l@ wire Wound upon the heel thus providin "gli periphery of the head but which slot extends substantially the thickness of a package of a construction whereby a cord 31 for binding the coils of wire may be laid in the recess 28 with its ends extending through the slots 294 and when the desired amountis wound upon the reel the ends of this cord 31 may be brought together by passing its endthrough the slots 29 and tied as at 32, illustrated diagrammatically in Figure 4 to bindthe package 34. v

I have provided three sets of cooperating depressions and slots by which the package 34 of wire maybe bound in various ositions to prevent its spreading or unwin ing, it being apparent that any desired number '11 of such means for bindinonma bep rovided.

'I'he head may be centralize with relation to the barrel by a plurality ofsuitably ositioned raised'ears 33, as' illustrated igures 1 and 2.

It will be observed that I have provided by my construction above described an economical and easily manipulative removable head for the reel by means of which construction a package of wire wound thereon may be -bound and readily removed therefrom.
